5. The Gastronomy Staycation

If a traveling vacation isn't in your budget — but you still have enough cash to indulge a little — spend your staycation visiting the best eateries your town has to offer. Go to a trendy restaurant, bakery or cheese shop. Visiting a vineyard and winery outside of town is an ideal day trip. It's a romantic experience, as the area is usually very scenic and — despite being moderately upscale — it's often more affordable than a full meal at an expensive restaurant.
